Hmm, sound like it doesn't like the encoding of some of your UTF-8
strings...

Do you know which strings are affected in your translation? If you edit
them slightly to remove some or all special characters do you still get the
error?

Does it seem to display Danish properly?

(ie nothing out of the ordinary appears except for the fact that it's in
another language).

My backend currently has what appears to be an hardware problem which I'm
hoping to fix tonight (by replacing what I think is the defective piece of
hardware) and if it fix the problem I could try to help you track down the
problem if you send me your MythWeb translation file.

Good luck and have a nice day!
